Overall a good toy.

The monkey hang-out is another great in my pocket play set. You can buy the set from many places including Amazon where it will cost you £9.78 and because it is over 5 pound you will get free delivery. The set states it is for children aged 4 years and over but I think it would be ok for children slightly younger as well.

The monkey hang-out is part of the Jungle in my pocket sets. Other sets that you can buy in the jungle sets are: Panda Hut Play set, Koala Hut, Elephant Hut and there's many more these sets are roughly the same price and each set focuses on a different animal. There are also some bigger sets that you can buy that will obviously be more expensive.

The monkey hang-out set comes with 4 monkeys each one has a name which helps each one have a character. The larger monkey which is the mother is called Madge then the three smaller baby monkeys are Marti, Memphis and Mimi. The monkeys are quite small and will be able to fit in your child's hands. They are solid with a soft texture you can't move there arms or anything but each figure is in a different position whether it's crouched down or looking like it's going to crawl.

The monkey hang-out hut is shaped like a tree house that opens up. The main part of the tree hut is a nice bright pink the play house is made out of plastic and is quite firm. The play hut opens up to reveal a little house the green tree part of the house at the top opens up and bends back it then shows a bed and dressing table that is attached. Then in the main part of the house it has an attached fire place and a place where you can stick some stickers that come with the pack to make pictures on the wall. There is also an orange arm chair which comes with it which you can put in there. Outside the tree house there is a branch that sticks out that you can hang the swing that comes with it on. The swing has 3 spaces on which you can sit the monkeys on then you can swing the swing. When the hut is shut there is a small door that opens an closes. All the little extras attached and that come with the hut make it more fun for your children.

I think this is a great set my daughters love it and have put it with there other collection of in my pocket toys. The set is great as when it is folded up it gets quite small so is easy to store. The set is easy to open and close so your child should be able to do it. My daughters love moving the monkeys round the tree house and pretending to put them to sleep etc. I like the way that some of the items are attached like the beds etc as it saves them from losing them. I find the prices of the set is reasonable at first when I saw it I thought it was a bit expensive as obviously isn't that big but it keeps my daughters entertained and helps with there co-ordination (moving the monkeys round the house) and role play skills (adding characters to each of the monkeys).

The only negative thing I can say about the set is that my daughters love the set that much that they want more of them. So they have already got there eyes set on the elephant and bear set. Which I'm sure I'll be buying for there birthday.
